A Letter to Energy Sector Leaders

— James Spitler, Founder & CEO, Aktoh Cyber

Volt Typhoon pre-positioned Chinese malware inside U.S. energy infrastructure — not to steal data, but to be ready to cause disruption. The Colonial Pipeline attack demonstrated that a single ransomware deployment could panic fuel supplies on the East Coast for days. Aktoh deploys autonomous detection and deception technology that operates passively within OT environments — providing the visibility energy organizations need without the operational risk of active scanning.

OT/ICS Passive Monitoring

No-Disruption Detection

Passive behavioral monitoring of SCADA, DCS, and industrial control systems without disrupting operational processes or production continuity.

Nation-State Pre-Positioning Detection

Volt Typhoon & Sandworm Coverage

Detect living-off-the-land techniques used by Volt Typhoon, Sandworm, and other pre-positioned nation-state actors in energy infrastructure.

Ransomware Prevention for OT

Colonial Pipeline Lesson

Detect ransomware staging in IT environments before it propagates to OT networks — stopping the IT/OT pivot that took down Colonial Pipeline.

NERC CIP Compliance

Bulk Electric System Standards

Continuous monitoring aligned to NERC CIP reliability standards for bulk electric system operators — with documented evidence for regulatory audits.

Third-Party & Vendor Risk

Supply Chain Security

Monitor every vendor, contractor, and remote access pathway with connections to energy infrastructure — the most common initial access vector in energy sector breaches.

Incident Response for Operational Environments

Continuity-First Response Planning

Incident response planning that prioritizes operational continuity — because power generation and distribution cannot be taken offline for security remediation.
